I can also get Hiarcs to analyse my games for blunders etc.Ĥ) The opening view is fantastic, i really cannot commend the programmers enough for this great feature. It also rates me and adapts its play to my level which means I don't need to fiddle with levels although there are loads of them.Ģ) I can chose the selection of openings I want to play, it is great to be able to play openings I want to play rather than what the computer might want - I never realised Hiarcs would give me this flexibilityģ) I was able to load and enter games I have played for my club, I can then analyse them with any chess engine and write comments and add chess symbols, that is really easy and helps my chess and understanding. Unlike other computer coaches the Hiarcs coach actually points out very good moves I missed and gives me the chance to look for the ! move which is more interesting because it is happening in the games I play. Hiarcs plays chess realistically and misses some combinations/pins just like a human club player on the weakened levels I am playing anyway. Unlike any other chess programs I have played (and I have lots). The features that really stand out for me are:ġ) The ability to play games against weakened Elo opponents which make realistic moves to challenge and not overwhelm. Having used the program for a couple of weeks I can say it has exceeded my expectations. It has all the usual features for chess play and the graphics are really very good quality - I understand it supports Retina Macs as well. I was attracted to Hiarcs Explorer because it offered me the game analysis and book preparation facilities I was looking for.
HIARCS CHESS EXPLORER MAC
On my Mac I have run a dual boot (mainly for chess) but final we have a high quality chess program for the Mac itself and it is really very good indeed.
HIARCS CHESS EXPLORER PC
I did not want to buy another PC program even though Hiarcs is available on PC - I prefer using my Mac. I previously have used Chessbase and Fritz et al on PC and while they have lots of features they are hard to use and often lock up my PC.
I took sometime deciding but I was convinced by the promo video they put on youtube.Īnd I had all my pre-purchase questions answered by one of the authors by email very quickly, I was impressed by the support given by Mark who I am guessing is the engine author. I purchased Hiarcs Chess Explorer a couple of weeks ago and I thought I would write a quick review for those who like me were wondering about this new chess program.
